Mallusk Christmas Market raises record £3,692 for Children's Hospice

MALLUSK Enterprise Park is celebrating its most successful Christmas Market to date, following an unforgettable evening of community spirit, festive entertainment, and exceptional local enterprise on 26th November.

This year’s event raised an outstanding £3,692.22, the highest total ever achieved by the Mallusk Christmas Market.

The evening also featured our biggest charity raffle to date, with an incredible lineup of prizes including overnight stays, family experiences, and a wide selection of vouchers generously donated by local businesses and tenants at Mallusk Enterprise Park.

In addition to the fundraising total, visitors donated a generous amount of toys for the Cash for Kids Mission Christmas Appeal and a significant volume of food items for the Newtownabbey Foodbank, helping to support families across the Borough during the festive season.

Over 20 local entrepreneurs and small businesses transformed Mallusk Enterprise Park into a bustling winter market filled with handcrafted goods, artisan foods, festive treats, and unique gift ideas.

The Market once again provided valuable pop-up trading opportunities, reflecting Mallusk Enterprise Park’s mission to champion local enterprise, nurture new businesses, and promote sustainable economic growth within the Borough.

Families enjoyed a magical visit to the free Santa’s Grotto, supported and sponsored by Henderson Foodservice, who also kindly provided items for the event’s goody bags. Additional goody bag treats were generously donated by Don’s Deli.
